Mechanistic differences underlying HIV latency in the gut and blood contribute to differential responses to latency-reversing agents. [PDF]
Objective: While latently HIV-infected cells have been described in the blood, it is unclear whether a similar inducible reservoir exists in the gut, where most HIV-infected cells reside. Tissue-specific environments may contribute to differences in the mechanisms that govern latent HIV infection and amenability to reactivation.

Dual TLR2 and TLR7 agonists as HIV latency-reversing agents. [PDF]
The presence of a reservoir of latently infected cells in HIV-infected patients is a major barrier towards finding a cure. One active cure strategy is to find latency-reversing agents that induce viral reactivation, thus leading to immune cell recognition and elimination of latently infected cells, known as the shock-and-kill strategy.

Harmine enhances the activity of the HIV-1 latency-reversing agents ingenol A and SAHA. [PDF]
Infection of HIV-1 remains incurable because long-lived, latently-infected cells persist during prolonged antiretroviral therapy. Attempts to pharmacologically reactivate and purge the latent reservoir with latency reactivating agents (LRAs) such as protein kinase C (PKC) agonists (e.g. ingenol A) or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (e.g.

Novel Latency Reversal Agents for HIV-1 Cure. [PDF]
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has rendered HIV-1 infection a treatable illness; however, ART is not curative owing to the persistence of replication-competent, latent proviruses in long-lived resting T cells. Strategies that target these latently infected cells and allow immune recognition and clearance of this reservoir will be necessary to eradicate ...
